I just think it's a pain that there is hardly a store out there where you can buy books for Sony's readers in a justified format (without de-DRM'ing and converting). At least their store served some purpose when it offered LRF. As it is, I can only recommend their readers to tech savvy people who don't mind doing the convert process or who don't mind ragged right. Which is a shame because Sony's hardware and onboard UI is the best, imo.

The big question is: would you pay 20% more just to have the book in LRX format (with DRM that couldn't be removed!) with full justification, rather than getting it as Epub or Mobi and either accept the ragged right edge or do the conversion yourself. Obviously the answer was a resounding NO for most people, or Sony would not have made the switch. Price and the DRM were obvious reasons most people did not shop at the Sony store. Now they have removed at least one of those problem areas.
